We’ve selected some images from Christian Kneise’s series Sacred Path, which documents an ancient pilgrimage route in Japan. The sense of place, mood and contemplation is so beautifully captured in these pictures; we feel as if we’re really there.

Patrick Heng is a creative developer based in Paris who is a specialist in multimedia design. He has a specific interest in WebGL and UI animations, which you can see put to use on his amazing personal site.

This is some top shelf brand development by Thirst, a design agency specialising in drinks packaging and branding. They were approached by Meier’s Creek Brewing for a branding job and they took inspiration from the look and feel of the US National Parks. Hence we see some gorgeous patches, which began as a logo for the brewery itself and then also became identifiers for all of the beer types too.
Their goal was to set up the brewery itself as a destination to visit, which we feel they’ve done perfectly here. We love this project so much!
This is a really smart campaign by Leo Burnett Frankfurt for Samsung. To show how Samsung’s new range of TVs cut down on reflections on their screen, they used some clever art direction to show just how a reflection on your TV Screen can affect your viewing.
Simple, hard-hitting and strong visuals. Just the way we like our print advertising!
It’s always interesting to see wine packaging that breaks from tradition. This work by Bisarro Studio for Portuguese brand, Destalo, uses illustration to create a strong brand that stands out from the crowd.
Taking inspiration from endangered species from where the wines are produced, we see an illustrated otter, royal duck and tortoise on the white, rosé and red wines respectively. Such a great idea. And at the same time, it reminds the viewer of the terroir of the wine itself. Clever!
You can see more shots of the packaging below.
We don’t always think of boiled eggs as convenience food. But they really are pretty convenient and good ‘on the go’ food when you think about it.
Sonoma Brands decided to bring this to life and create a new brand in the ‘grab and go’ category and turned to Hatch (a San Francisco based agency with a name that seems quite fitting) for the branding.
We must say, they’ve done an absolutely incredible job. this brand is so well thought out, beautifully executed and brought to life through some gorgeous illustration.
This website by Numbered, for Netherlands based cosmetic company Superfluid is such a great example of modern web design. From the way the site uses photography (beautifully) to the use of typography and motion, this is absolutely top drawer work.
One of our favourite details on this site is how a photograph appears behind the product on mouseover – such a great thought. It makes the shop page so much more engaging as a user. You’ll have to see it for yourself!
